Chrysler sales UP 11%

Even though Im happy for Chrysler for the increase somme models aren't performing as well as they should be. The dart is still hovering around 6k units, which isnt good given the amount of $$$ that was spent on marketing. I did notice something in the sales however, the dart finally outsold the Avenger. Hopefully if chrysler reduce the rebates/incentives on the Avenger we can see it start rising, but I guess mediocre reviews arent helping it either, however it does have an almost perfect score on Consumer reviews. The journey dosen't seem like its going to move anymore than 7.5k units. The vans are slipping. Very surprised about the the Durango jump though, partially because a new model is due out in the fall so you would think people would wait around for it and catch deals on the remaining 13's at the end of the year. The 200 is steady but could be doing better. Nice jumps for the Grand Cherokee and Ram. Compass had a tick up and the Patriot with over 7k sold, good. Probaly due to the new 6 spd transmission, should have had that from the beginning. A little bump in 300 sales probaly ins't enogh to break even by the end of the year though.

i agree somewhat, but the Avenger isnt that bad(6CYL). I test drove one and i was actaully surpised at the power it had, the interior could needed to be updated though. This is one of those vehicles that everyone thinks its bad , but given a chance and actaully drive one for yourself isnt that bad(6CYL). And even without rebates/incentives its still lower than your typicalaccord, camry, altima etc. So I think more consumers should at least put it on there list if looking for a reasonbly priced midsize.

We just traded our Journey for a 200- good rebates plus 1.9% financing is nice. We got the Limited with the sunroof and radio with nav/hard drive for storing songs. We thought it was a good deal.

The engine is fantastic. Its just the rest of the car that is the problem.

Yea, Im actaully surprised because when pics first leaked out of the design people reaaly weren't feeling the front, mainly the LED lights, but I've seen a lot of new ones on the road and they dont have the LEDs. So Im guessing they dont come standard, possibly o the limited models and up. this also gives me hope that reception to the new Cherokee might be good even though alot of people found the look polarizing lol

Have you actually driven one? I have and with the generally perception of a few I was not expecting the car I found. the engine of course was great, it was comfortable, handled really well, rode really well, the interior was good quality and easy to use. the only real shortcoming I found was a slight lack of room.

Anyways, i am glad to see this and it is made all the more amazing that both Dodge (the nitro) and Jeep (the liberty)are both down a model from the previous year.

The Laredo and Limited don't have LEDs, only the Overland and Summit do.
